A 24-year-old man is accused of squatting at a newly finished Northeast Portland duplex listed for sale, police said.

Derek John Charles Zika, a member of the Burning Arrow Organization, a group protesting foreclosures, was found crouched down by the front door of a home in the 500 block of Northeast Bryant Street when officers arrived after 10:45 p.m. Sunday.

Zika had personal belongings in an upstairs bedroom, police said, and it appeared he had just taken a shower before he was arrested.

Vlad Rudnitsky, the duplex’s owner said he called police late Sunday night after a real estate agent informed him that the home looked like it was broken into.

“I went over there and could see someone inside,” said Rudintsky. “The property was trashed and the fence was all torn up. Thousands of dollars in damage."

Police said officers arrived to the duplex Sunday and found a large group of people standing in the front yard and a banner hanging from the front porch of the duplex that read: “Together we are unevictable.”

When police searched the new duplex they found the lockbox had been removed from the front door, and another lockbox had been removed from the gas meter.

When they looked through the front door they saw that furniture that had been staged in the duplex had been moved.

They later found a grocery bag that contained two new sets of door locks that did not belong to the homeowner.

Officers searched the backyard and found the fencing between the duplex and the house to the west had been removed and was piled up in the backyard of the house.

Police had to break a window to enter the duplex and arrest Zika.

He was booked into the Multnomah County Jail on first-degree burglary and first-degree criminal trespass charges.
